Doing Gods Errands.

Child's World.
Hester loved to do errands for her
mother, and have her call her II faith
full servant when she did them we'll.
One day she had been talking with
her mother about God, when she
quickly raised her head with bright
thought in her eyes, and said:
"Why, mother, then God is send
ing us on errands all the time! l am
his little errrand girl, too"
"Yes, dear; he has given US crrands
to do, and plenty of time to do them,
and a book written full to show us
how. Every day we can tell him
how we try to do them, and ask him
to help us, so when he calls us we run
to meet him, and give him our &C.
count"

rights Of others, of younger members
of the family, of the voiceless Great
ures about him. The child natural
ly loves all living things, and when
he brings to you great fuzzy cater
pillar, and says, " Look at him mann
ma, see how soft his fur is, isn't he
pretty ?" don't scream or say, "Take
that horrid thing outdoors, and new
err bring any more such creatures to
me;" but encourage this taste for
nature. Tell him all that you can
of this particular worm, of all worms,
and thus help him to observe all liv-
ing creatures and their habits, and
growing to love them, there will be
no need later of societies for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals.
Have you not seen the little fellow
sent out with his caterpillar, look up
on it for moment with the same adj
miration, and then, loyal to his
mother, throw it down in disgust,
and after watching it crawl away for
minute, crush it beneath his little
shoe? He will never bring any
more bugs into the parlor afterward,
and you must shudder when you
think of the lesson learned too per-
fectly that day that will later be re-
cited in deeds Of cruelty upon all
these creeping or flying creatures,
and then the thoughtless parent will
have to labor to counterfeit the influ-
ence of the impression upon the
child's mind. 1t Is easy to secure
happiness, for it is the natural state
of childhood; but it is gained by as
much freedom as can be given the
child and not interfere with the free
dom Of others.

Taught EARLY.

Wide Awake
He was pretty little fellow, but it
was his manners, not his looks, that
attracted everybody-clerks in the
stores, people in the horse-cars, men,
women and children. A boy four
years old, who, if anybody said TO
him, elbow do you do?" answered,
81 am well, thanks" and if he had a
request to make, be it of a friend or
stranger, began it with "Please."
And the beauty of it was that the
"Thanks" and "Please" were so
much a matter of course to the child
that he never knew he was doing
anything noticeable.
Chow cunning it is" said a snowy
woman to his mother, as they sat at
dinner at the public table of a hotel
one day, "to hear that child thank
the walters, and say please when he
want, anything. Ineversaw anything

Happy Children.

The desire to have children happy
is common, but not all who wish it
understand the art Of happiness. 1t
is not what a child has or has not
which brings this pleasure. Indeed
the child who gets only the discard
ed string or spools, the bits of bright
paper and cloth, and the freedom to
use them as he pleases, is far happier
than he who is surrounded by costly
and beautiful toys, and has but to
wish for some new plaything to re-
ceive it. 1t is a real question wheth-
er the child of today has as much
fun as the father and mother, whose
rag doll was too precious to be parted
from day or night, or who worked
for hours converting the spools into
wheels and forming a cart that could
90.
It is impossible to love many dolls
as mother loved her one. Then do
not add to the number of toys already
fashioned, but encourage in all ways
possible the use of such material as
may be at hand, and its transform
alton into something that shall
amuse and please far more because
made by the child, however awk-
wardly. Again, in the attempt to
secure happiness it is not nice to re-
place injured or broken toys too read
lily. Children of today are far more
destructive than those who lived SO
years ago. The little girl learns too
soon that if the doll, of which she is
growing Il trifle weary, is broken,
there will be another and a more
beautiful one provided in its stead.
To make a child careful he must
know that anything broken cannot
he made quite whole again, that any
thing lost cannot be restored without
labor.
An early step ON the road to hap
pines is that taken by making 9th
